CAS Watercolour July Challenge

Hi everyone. Today is the start of the CAS Watercolour July challenge. This month's challenge is being hosted by Nancy. This will be Nancy's last month as part of our CAS Watercolour Design Team. I will miss you so much, my sweet friend!

I created the background for my card with Distress Oxide Inks (Wilted Violet, Candy Apple). I stamped over top with a silhouette of wildflowers and added a white frame with black stamped sentiment. Fun card to make!

Here's the close-up ...

I hope you'll join us for this fun challenge. Please check out the challenge blog to see the inspiring cards from our wonderful Designers and our Guest Designer, Marcia (Marcia K Designs). Then come play along. Challenge is open until July 24th.

Thank you for the great tutorial, thank you for reminding this technique. I love your background. When I look at it, I have the impression that it is a dense pink fog that is whirling, and in the mist there is a soft light that illuminates this fog ... I love the effect you have received, Loll! A perfect background for the silhouette of these flowers. WOW, another amazing Loll card. Thank you!BożenA xoxo

What absolutely gorgeous colors you chose. I'm always intrigued but the combination of ink colors you use that I'd never think to put together. This is such a unique look to the splash technique. Love this!

Gorgeous card, Loll! Your background is so pretty...I love your color palette and the striking effect of your silhouette! Thanks so much for the link to your video...I'm looking forward to playing along!

Thank you again, Loll for the opportunity to be a part of your very talented DT. I have learned SO much and had a great time playing with all you girls. I will miss you, but do plan to still play along in your awesome challenges.

I love how it looks like a light in the middle of your background, Loll! These colors splashed beautifully together and the black silhouette stamped flowers are stunning! Thanks for this technique. It's such fun and yields wonderful results!

Your background is absolutely GORGEOUS Loll! I'm loving how the purple is lighter towards the center of your background...it almost looks like the sun is hitting your lovely silhouetted flowers! LOVE your Splash Technique video too...short and to the point and I use this technique ALL the time! :0)

A stunning background, a stunning card Loll! I love the look you got from those two colors of DO. I always love silhouettes-they just drawl my eye immediately! And boy this one looks great against that background. Love this card! Hugs, Brenda

Wow, I LOVE your splash watercolour background, Loll! The color combo is amazing and the chalky, dreamy splash effect of Oxide inks has so much depth. It looks like a light coming from right behind the flower silhouette.Thank you so much for sharing your tutorial video! I watched it and enjoyed making splash backgrounds last Sunday and now it's time to make cards using them! :-) Hideko xx
